If your watching right now, GB is going mostly a 4-3 (4 lineman, 3 linebackers).
Teams will go with their strengths in these defensive set-ups. If they have a more talented linebacking crew then a 3-4 D is where it's at. If their is more talent in the lineman then a 4-3 is your game. Their both very very similar now a days since the defensive ends are pretty much crossover linebackers due to their size and mostly speed.
The corners and safeties are usually the same most of the time. The primary 4 are always out their. They'll also have 2 bonus corner/safeties that rotate in/out to keep guys fresh or when more cover guys are needed on pure passing downs. When 1 or 2 of the bonus cover guys come in a lineman is the usual guy to rotate out or the least talented cover linebacker.

no, really, i thought 4-3 was where there are 4 lb's
.... just making the comment that if the unit revolves around getting pressure on the qb.....the 3-4 has proven to be the stronger of the two....elaborate if you believe otherwise.....the best defenses in history have been 3-4......end/
